The Islamic
State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) abducted David Haines, a worker for the French
aid Agency and a father of two. Haines was kneeling in the sand, wearing an
orange jumpsuit. The video shows him stating that Britain is getting dragged
into an unwinnable war for helping the Kurdish Peshmerga battle against ISIS.
David Cameron, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, speaks out by saying,
“We Will do everything in our power to hunt
down these murderers and ensure they face justice, however long it takes” (1).
Haines has been working in aid agencies for a long time, helping rebuild homes
and so on. He has worked in Croatia, Libya, South Sudan and Syria, where he was
abducted in March 2013. Dragana, David’s wife, said that Haines was a fantastic
father and man. The British government is providing and supporting the Haines
family in any way possible, but all they wish for is to be left alone. Even the
White House responded to this event, saying, “The United States strongly
condemns the barbaric murder of the UK citizen David Haines but the terrorist
group ISIL. Our hearts go out to the family of Mr. Haines and to the people of
the United Kingdom” (1). The United States has vowed to take down this evil
group. Having already launched over one hundred and fifty airstrikes against
the group in Iraq, they hope that they can destroy them once and for all.
The people
of the world should be aware of what is going on around them. Instead of
focusing on celebrities and other unimportant things,. They should start acknowledging
what is going on, and try to find ways to help in order to not let these
inhumane acts repeat.
